Automatic Control Systems

Learning Outcomes

The purpose of the course is to understand the concepts of automatic control theory and to present them through a multitude of applications.

Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Compute system transfer functions.
• Analyze systems in complex fields.
• Compute the equations of state in state space.
• Analyze the behavior of systems in state space.
• Studie the stability of systems.
• Use appropriate computational tools to analyze and design control systems.
